It seems rather good, You should mention Dark Angel, We have Arrived is an awesome album, I prefer it over any other album realised in 85

 

[Goreripper]

Yeah I thought about putting them in. But I have to draw the line somewhere, or it will never end.

 

[KoichCPA]

Yeah, you do have a point. Maybe you should just invent a new big 4, without megadeth and put Dark Angel in instead. you know you want to.

 

[Goreripper]

Had there been any real justice in the world, the Big Four would have included Exodus instead of Anthrax.

 

[KoichCPA]

Ok so the revised Big Four is this, Slayer, Testament, Dark Angel and Exodus.

It looks good on paper.

 

[Goreripper]

You could have something there.

 

[KoichCPA]

See, you know I should be in charge of this country.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Replace Slayer and Testament with Megadeth and Anthrax though

 

[KoichCPA]

ART STUDENST AREN'T ALLOWED TO VOTE. suck shit

 

[Winmar]

Perhaps I should check Dark Angel out then....

Slayer, Testament

The only 2 bands who are still going that havent turned into a bunch of girls!

 

[spawn]

"'Reign in Blood' was a vicious and sinister masterpiece of furious speed and violence that may never be topped. Its ferocious ten songs in 28 minutes still reigns at the pinnacle of thrash metal almost 20 years after it was released."

 

[Goreripper]

That statement impressed you, did it, spawno?

Truer words may never have been said Gorey

Quite a good guide I must say, though I disagree about Possessed, I have 2 of their albums and they were awful, I might go find them again and see if ive changed my mind... I havent heard any Bathory either, I think I ordered one of their cds in an amazon shipment I have coming, but I cant remember... I still have never heard Celtic Frost either, do they have a Best Of?

 

[Goreripper]

Yep, I agree. Possessed were actually pretty bad! But 'Seven Churches' is still regarded as the first real death metal album. Their guitarist is now in Primus actually, and their second album was produced by Joe Satriani! If you're going to get a Bathory album, I'd go for "Hammerheart" personally. As for Celtic Frost, they have a 'best of' CD called "Parched With Thirst Am I and Dying".

 

[spawn]

Most excellent, ill order the Celtic Frost one, though I dont think they can live up to the hype around them...!

Have you heard Usurper? Apparently they have more than a bit of Celtic Frost in them, and they rock!

 

[Cyclonus]

Usurper are a Celtic Frost clone.

Check out Hellhammer too, they are the same band really, just before Celtic Frost were formed they were called Hellhammer. It's a bit more raw and angry.

Nice stuff Gore.

 

[spawn]

Usurper rule!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

"Parched With Thirst Am I and Dying" is sort of a best of, but more of a compilation for the fans, has some non-album tracks on it and stuff, as well as some classics. It has some awesome stuff on it, but I am not sure if it would be the best place to start with the band.
